Description

At long last, Eric Weigeshoff has finished our custom build for Yasmin Williams! This Skytop GC is what fine lutherie is all about: Teredo-hole Sitka Spruce, Spalted Tamarind back and sides, multiscale fretboard, twin soundports and Bloodwood appointments—James May Ultra Tonic pickup, Visesnut flight case, and more percussive fingerstyle fun than you can shake a pocketful of acrylic nails at. We’d say the only thing missing is a player to warm it up, but we’re sure Yasmin will keep this Skytop in hand and lap to make music for many years to come.

We're excited to showcase our latest collaboration with Eric Weigeshoff of Skytop Guitars and contemporary fingerstylist Yasmin Williams. This Skytop GC has incredible Spalted Tamarind back and sides, Sitka Spruce with teredo worm holes, and a multiscale fretboard. We can't wait to see what Yasmin gets into with this beauty!
